I highlighted the chapter "your kid could get better"

Excellent Book. These books provide insight and directionfor difficult situations in life. Would recommend for professionalsand novice self insight information.Recommendations from numerous Psychiatric Board Certified Associations.Good Amazon Seller. Thank you

Just as expected.

I am a fan of H. Norman Wright and was excited to finally get this book. I am a mother of four children - and as all parents know each child is drastically different. My first was a difficult baby and toddler but by far exceeds maturity and grace at the age of ten. My next to youngest however was a "perfect" baby that turned into a difficult 3 and now four year old. His quick temper and angry outburst make it difficult to talk him through things. In fact both of my boys are somewhat this way. I become so used to being able to reason with my oldest, to explain consequences and know she would choose the right path that I was, and am still to a certain extent, thrown off balance with my boys and youngest feisty girl. Being thrown off balance I began to yell or slam my hand down on a surface to get attention - then I would threaten, threaten, threaten. Over and over my husband said to follow through - but honestly I stayed worn out as a stay at home mom and home school teacher. Seemed my whole day revolved around upheaval.This book was excellent at bringing out solid points on communicating with each child on their terms while showing respect and getting getting respect for your authority. I enjoyed this book very much and have found it helpful - Though to be honest I am having to keep it handy for review and not shelved just yet.Thank you Gospel Light for this review copy.

Full disclosure, I haven’t read the book. If I had gleaned from any information in the description that it was a faith based book, I wouldn’t have purchased it at all. I bought it for friends based on the advice of an aquaintance, but those friends are agnostic/atheistic.

I have had two children to a previous marriage and therefore I think I know it all. That's a guy for you. So when I spied this I thought it would be good for my wife and I to read in order to assist us with a 00ties (nauties, 2000's) child. She is 6 going on 26.The book is very easy reading, perhaps a little too easy and you need to get into it a fair way before the "How to" starts. Personally I am not religious and found the ".. Step 6 - Follow the Scriptures.." a cop out.Anyway a good light book that gave me a couple of good tips like use "would you" instead of "could you" in a sentence. After all you are asking the child to actually do something not 'if' they can do it.

This author is a great combination of Christian and therapist. So helpful on grief and similar topics

The guy lost me in the first page when he mentioned the word "bible".This is a book written by a guy who believes in ghosts and superstitions such as religion.Skip it if you wished religion would disappear.

The main reason I bought this book is the amount of reviews but I now realise I am the wrong target audience. This is very patronising, states the obvious and refers to the Bible a lot.

As a none Christian, I found this book talked far too much about Jesus for my liking. I made my children, I make them who they are not the imaginary man that lives in the clouds.There is another book with the same title. MUCH BETTER less Jesus
